Will Ospreay says that the recent AEW incident between MJF & Britt Baker backstage wasn’t a big deal as people have made it out to be.
Ospreay, echoing similar comments made by MJF to the New York Post, said that the incident had been “the most completely blown-out of proportion thing I have ever seen in my life.” Ospreay didn’t want to go into details because he did not know what exactly had been reported.
The incident occurred backstage during the episode of Dynamite on July 17, where MJF defeated Ospreay after a nearly-hour-long match, becoming the new AEW American champion. MJF reportedly confronted Baker when he heard AEW interviewer Alicia Atout, who is dating MJF, tell him that Baker had been speaking negatively about him. Ospreay may have also spoken with Baker at some point.
MJF did not suspend MJF for what happened. Baker was fined, and briefly suspended.
MJF denied certain reports about the incident in an interview with Cultaholic published this month.
“Tell me if it passes the smell test. I barge in a women’s locker room. “I scream at a 110-pound woman and then punch a wall near her…and I’m not suspended,” MJF said. Does that pass your smell test? “Almost everything that was said didn’t actually happen.”
This Sunday, AEW All In will host MJF vs. Ospreay in the American Championship. Mercedes Mone and Baker will also be featured on the pay-per view for the TBS Championship.
Ospreay said to the New York Post, that while some people might not get along, it is important that AEW works as a cohesive team.
“I’m just trying to bring everyone together as a group,” he said. “That’s it,” he said. I’m well aware that people don’t get along backstage. I know that there are people behind the scenes that I dislike. I’m convinced that we need to work together in the future. We all need each other.
